A while back, Gruber published an interesting article proposing iPhone UI design guidelines that developers could adhere to in order to preserve that “iPhone-Likeness” that we’ve all come to admire in apps.

You know what I’m talking about. That look that appears so flawless and stunning in an app that it functions just as good as it looks and yet becomes incredibly difficult to imagine that a work that remarkable could have been conceived and constructed by people.

I’m no mind reader but when Gruber said “figure out the absolute least you need to do to implement the idea and then polish the hell out of the experience”, I undoubtedly believe the TapBot team has done just that and have implemented that thinking into every one of their apps and even more so with their latest creation; Pastebot.

I refuse to go into detail to elaborate on what the app does other than to show you by the photo what it looks like because the website already does a phenomenal job with that but even more so because a big portion of my excitement for new software involves personally discovering how great something is on my own and I won’t take that away from you.

The most common function on a computer (Copy & Paste) has been now completely revolutionized on a mobile device. I love the iPhone but even more so brilliant masterminds who bang out amazing sh*t by sprucing up the mundane.
